Definitely. Then there's the even worse version where someone feels that, because they believe themselves to be intelligent and well educated (perhaps even correctly), the Dunning Kruger effect couldn't possibly apply to them, nor is there ever a need for them to think twice about anything.

I think some people confuse intelligence (an ability to learn and think through problems?) with wisdom. They're not mutually exclusive but they don't always coincide either.

Mine too! I suspect clinicians advise parents to do that (probably a good thing) I was told the differences in my domain IQs & what that indicated. I was given the full assessment report when I was 18, but didn't read it until recently. It does ring true for a lot of my social skill issues.
